    Is there a Christian right in the UK?
    Feb 17 2026

    In the debut episode of Blessed & Stressed: Religion & Politics Across the Pond, hosts Dr. Katie Gaddini and Sheyi Martins-Allen dive straight into the growing question: Is there a Christian Right in the United Kingdom?

    Drawing on Katie’s research and Sheyi’s sharp cultural observations, they unpack the differences between religious and political life in the US and the UK. The conversation explores how Christianity operates within each society, why American-style culture wars don’t always translate across the Atlantic, and what “religious influence” really looks like in both contexts.

    Along the way, they also reflect on the cultural spectacle of the Super Bowl, including the Bad Bunny performance and the varied reactions it sparked.
